Name

cacosh, cacoshf, cacoshl - complex arc hyperbolic cosine

Library

Math library ( libm ", " -lm )

Synopsis

#include <complex.h> 
double complex cacosh(double complex  z );
float complex cacoshf(float complex z );
long double complex cacoshl(long double complex z );

Description

These functions calculate the complex arc hyperbolic cosine of z. If y\ =\ cacosh(z), then z\ =\ ccosh(y). The imaginary part of y is chosen in the interval [-pi,pi]. The real part of y is chosen nonnegative.

One has:

    cacosh(z) = 2 * clog(csqrt((z + 1) / 2) + csqrt((z - 1) / 2))
